You know, it just occured to me yesterday that there might be a federated version of reddit. Looked it up and I was pleasantly surprised to see it’s actually picking up a lot of users. Now if we could see a mobile app as polished as rif is fun, I’ll be extremely happy. Move over reddit, let’s go lemmy!
Just wondering though, how scalable is lemmy? What kind of hardware/connection would you need to host your own instance?
There’s a few posts around about server setups that people are running. The major constraint seems to be storage. Lemmurs uploading gigs of data can get tricky to manage pretty quickly.

Maybe there would be a way kinda like p2p where the user is “hosting” what they share/post? Or have to over a certain amount etc.
I think Peertube does that!
Mlem is getting the ball rolling on an app on iOS currently in beta.
Just downloaded it today… a bit barebones at the moment, but it’s a start!
